Phil starts discussing the book Eloquent Rage by Brittney Cooper, and Peter asks Phil if he was ever made to feel as though he wasn't "black enough" at any point himself. This leads them into another courageous conversation on the integration of Phil's high school and how he handled a Student Body President race that came down to only a few votes between him and his white opponent.

Vulnerability is literally the lifeline between you and all joy, and yet, simultaneously, it's fucking TERRIFYING AND TRAUMATIZING. Wth?? In this episode, Doctor of Clinical Psychology and The Anti-Soulmate Love Coach, Kari Lu Cowell (email: antisoulmatelove@gmail.com), joins me to sort through how we work with vulnerability in ways that feel safe for us, what it looks like to trust *ourselves* with vulnerability, and whether anger is really a secondary emotion that we hide our vulnerabilities under or if it's just another gateway to connection (OR BOTH). ALSO! The book Kari was thinking of is called Eloquent Rage by Brittney Cooper if you wanna check it out. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thepatraumaparty/support

In today's short audio entry on racism - as part of anti-racism week - I read from Eloquent Rage by Brittney Cooper.I then use the excerpt to medidate on the importance of paying attention to how racism often teams up with other kinds of oppression all of which need to be eliminated from the world if we are serious about arriving in a truly just place.

Dr. Brittney Cooper is an incredibly engaging and insightful feminist author, professor, activist, and cultural critic currently teaching at Rutgers University. She is also cofounder of the Crunk Feminist Collective, a scholar-activist group for feminists of color that began as a super-popular blog and has now evolved into the thriving Substack newsletter, The Remix. In 2017, she co-authored and edited The Crunk Feminist Collection anthology and also released Beyond Respectability: The Intellectual Thought of Race Women, which she followed up with her acclaimed 2018 book Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower. Now, she's back with a helpful handbook called Feminist AF: A Guide to Crushing Girlhood. A treasure trove of resources for young activists—out now, from Norton Young Readers—the book uses intersectional feminist frameworks to help teens grapple with the most pressing challenges they face today. On BUST's latest “Poptarts” podcast, Cooper explores her “cool auntie” persona, tackles her breakups with pop-culture baddies, and predicts the future of feminism.

Episode SummaryI love a good book. Reading is one of my favorite things to do. Fun Fact about me: I always have a book on me at all times. The airport, the grocery store, the doctor's office. I am never without a book. The truth is that reading these books have been therapy for me. There are books on this list that I've read multiple times and the pages are marked and tabbed. They were just that impactful for me. I hope they are for you also.These books are all written by women and the majority of them speak to women and women of color. I hope you enjoy them.Professional Troublemaker by Luvvie Ajayi Jones (https://amz.run/4ysm)Career Rehab by Kanika Tolver (https://amz.run/4ysl)Letters to My Sisters in Engineering by Brittany Wilkins (https://amz.run/4ysk)You're More Than a Diversity Hire Women in STEM by Angelique Adams, PhD.

You're sailing on choppy seas, and building your boat as you go. That's the vivid picture that Vicki Yang paints about tackling how to do hybrid work. It really emphasizes the situation most of us are in if we've chosen hybrid mode. We don't have the answers, we don't know what will work, and we've got to try something and see if it takes us forward. On the latest episode of People at Work Vicki chats about what Bonusly is doing to build their boat. It's a lot of trial and error, but three things are key: understand what individuals need and want, document everything to keep things clear for all, and stay as flexible as possible. Hear about this and much more with Vicki's generous sharing so that we can learn and adapt too. About our guest: A people leader who leads by helping build up people through coaching on matters relating to performance management, org development, recognition, and engagement. An avid reader, with current favourite reads: The Making of a Manager, Just Work, and Eloquent Rage. You can contact Vicki on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/victoriayang/.

Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. And although slavery ended over 100 years ago, the systems, beliefs, and prejudices it left behind are things we still battle today. And the impacts don't stop at politics or gaps in influence and wealth. Relationship dynamics between Black couples, families, and communities have also been burdened with intergenerational traumas stemming from slavery.If we're going to heal from the mental and emotional scars slavery left behind, we need to explore how intergenerational traumas impact Black men and women and identify ways to start healing. This is what Jared Washington, an Atlanta based Licensed Professional Counselor, discusses in today's episode.Jared has dedicated his life to empowering Black people through mental health counseling and providing education to break the mental and emotional barriers holding us back. From founding his company H.O.P.E. LLC to writing his book, "Heal or Repeal: Breaking the Cycle of Intergenerational Trauma," Jared is working tirelessly to bring awareness to these issues and we applaud his efforts.CONTENT WARNINGSNone  GUESTJared Washington, MA, LPCCEO and Founder of HOPE LLCInstagram: @j.washington.hopeWebsite: http://www.jwhopeservices.com Purchase Jared's book Heal or Repeal: Breaking the Cycle of Intergenerational Trauma at http://www.jwhopeservices.comRESOURCEPurchase Jared's book Heal or Repeal: Breaking the Cycle of Intergenerational Trauma at http://www.jwhopeservices.comBrittany Cooper's Eloquent Rage is the book Charlene mentions  NOTEThe information provided on SheConfidential pertaining to your health or wellness, relationships, business/career choices, finances, or any other aspect of your life is not intended to be a substitute for individual consultations, professional advice, diagnosis or treatment rendered by your own provider. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSEpisode artwork and video production by Eye AM Media https://www.eyeammedia.com/.

In her book Eloquent Rage, Dr. Brittney Cooper says, “how it feels to be a Black woman ... our victories belong everyone even though we do all of the work.” In this episode of Black Oxygen, Lilliann Paine, the Chief of Staff for the City of Milwaukee Health Department, talks about the work it took for racism to be named as a public health crisis by the Wisconsin Public Health Association and in the City of Milwaukee. In pointing to the work of Dr. Camara Jones, Lilliann talks about how the work of naming racism as a key driver to the health of communities is not new - but what happens is that the work of Black women often gets erased from the narrative. Lilliann also discuss the impact that working in public health during this COVID19 pandemic has had on her personally. In the end, she reminds us all to, “listen to Black women, trust Black women, and cite Black women.” Links to things discussed in the conversation BARHII  Framework/Model - https://www.barhii.org/barhii-framework Dr. Camara Jones - Levels of Racism: A Theoretical Framework and a Gardener’s Tale Creative Health Collective - https://chealthc.info

Dr. Brittney Cooper is an Associate Professor of Women, Gender, and Africana studies at Rutgers University, as well as the author of two books, "Beyond Respectability" and "Eloquent Rage." She's recently brought attention to the term "necropolitics," but it's more than just a buzzword, and that's what she's on the show to discuss today. Did you know that one in every 1,450 Black people have died from COVID-19? Not just the ones that contracted COVID-19, but out of ALL Black people living in the United States. Dr. Cooper says that's necropolitics in action--a system designed to bring Black people to premature deaths. Hear her incredible insight on this topic and more, including the things that are giving her hope right now, thoughts on Biden's VP pick and if he can afford to NOT pick a black woman, and how she hopes we'll reorganize the way we live in a post-coronavirus world.Executive Producer: Adell ColemanProducer: Brittany TempleDistributor: DCP EntertainmentFor additional content: makeitplain.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today Chelsey and Sara are chatting about The Awakening by Kate Chopin. This novella published in 1899 follows Edna Pontellier as she discovers her desires and her identity outside of wifehood and motherhood. Our discussion includes how this book illustrates the constraints placed on 19th century women, why we don’t seem to have any issues with the infidelity in the novel, and how Kate Chopin speaks to modern-day mom-shaming. We also dig into some of the problematic content in this book and offer suggestions on how to read it through a more modern lens. Plus, as always, we’re recommending six contemporary books to pair with our classic include a young adult novel full of evocative nature imagery and a closed door second chance romance.

What are your friendship languages? Would you tell if you knew your girl's man cheated? Or hit on you? What if your friend is the one cheating, would you supply the alibi? In this episode, we bring out the rulebook on relationships between girlfriends. Listen to find out the rules Cass thinks are absolute, the ones Nessa finds completely irrational, and the ones Dassa struggles with. The book Dassa mentioned is "Eloquent Rage" by Brittney Cooper. Read it before? Let's talk about it on social media @99percentanomaly. Music by Sarel (@sarel_official) and Jeff Pierre (@jeffpierremusic). Visit our website at 99percentanomalypodcast.com.

Two of today’s leading feminist voices and international standouts of this year’s Festival, Brittney Cooper (Eloquent Rage) and Rebecca Traister (Good and Mad) join Santilla Chingaipe to celebrate the power of women’s rage as a galvanising force. Canvassing the history of women mobilising in transformative political movements – from suffrage to civil rights and the fault lines exposed more recently by the #MeToo movement – they make a call to anger between allies, reminding us that when harnessed, righteous fury can change history.

This week we discuss Eloquent Rage by Brittney Cooper in which we explore what it means to means to be a Black Feminist.

Today’s episode is a solo one, with host Lestraundra doing a recap of the April/May 2019 Balanced Black Girl Book Club pick, Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower. Released in 2018, Eloquent Rage is authored by Brittney Cooper, Associate Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers University and co-founder of the Crunk Feminist Collective. The book is considered a Black feminist’s manifesto, and challenges the idea of Black women’s anger being a detriment to the nation. In fact, in the book it is suggested that Black women’s anger can be a source of power that can help us all. In mid-May, several members of the Balanced Black Girl Book Club met in Seattle to discuss the book, and it was a lively, powerful discussion. Today’s episode serves as a discussion point for anyone who wants to continue the conversation, or who wasn’t able to meet IRL.

In this episode, Natalia, Neil, Niki, and guest historian Leah Wright Rigueur discuss black women and electoral politics, the closing of Sears, and corporate art patronage. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show:  Black women voters are a crucial electoral contingent, especially in the upcoming midterm elections. We spoke with Dr. Leah Wright Rigueur, author of The Loneliness of the Black Republican: Pragmatic Politics and the Pursuit of Power, about black women’s voting power today and in the past. Niki referenced Rachel Devlin’s book A Girl Stands at the Door, and Leah recommended Brittney Cooper’s Eloquent Rage, Ashley Farmer’s Remaking Black Power, Danielle McGuire’s At the Dark End of the Street, and Keisha Blain’s Set the World on Fire, as all good books for better understanding the long history of black women’s political activism. Sears is closing its doors for good. Natalia mentioned historian Louis Hyman’s viral Twitter thread on how the Sears catalog created opportunities for African Americans to shop during Jim Crow. She also recommended historian Lizabeth Cohen’s book A Consumer’s Republic and historian David K. Johnson’s forthcoming book Buying Gay: How Physique Entrepreneurs Sparked A Movement. We discussed how although art patronage is nothing new, 2018’s unapologetically corporate branding of art feels unprecedented.    In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia recommended Jessica Wilkerson’s Longreads article, “Living With Dolly Parton.” Neil shared the news that Judy Blume’s book Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. is being turned into a movie. Niki discussed W. David Marx’s Vox article, “An American campaign tee is trendy in Asia. Its popularity has nothing to do with the US.”

Public radio has a diversity problem. In a medium that struggles so hard to be balanced, neutral, and inclusive in everything it does, it still has few black female reporters and hosts. DaLyah Jones is one of those few. Actually, in Texas, she’s the only person who can claim to be a black, female public radio host. She is a reporter, podcaster, and fellow All Things Considered host at KUT-FM in Austin. Turns out, that makes her somewhat of a pioneer. And it gets lonely. On this episode of Convo, Jones and I discuss what it means to “code switch” in Texas’ numerous white spaces, the difference between ‘intention’ and ‘execution’ in unlearning white privilege, “Eloquent Rage,” and the weight of mental illness among people of color. Note: Technical problems make for a few wonky audio moments in this episode. The content is worth it though. sm

Episode 11 threw me for a good loop. I finished Eloquent Rage and considered the personal damage done to Love and living because of over-policing. Also my roommate came in so I got a bit off track, but got back on track. The second book is a novel, and the relationships are layered and hard-working.

Inspired by Kanye West's latest episodes of being loud and wrong, we unpack our individual shortcomings: what they are, what brought them to our attention, and how we overcome them.

Hey, Pearls! On this episode, Jaimie and Porsha root for everybody black. Jaimie kicks off the show with a reflection from Dr. Brittany Cooper's recent book, Eloquent Rage. Then, Porsha shares about a Mother's Day outing with her mom to see the Alvin Ailey dancers in New York City. After those opening segments, the Pearls remember the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. James Hal Cone, the Father of Black Liberation Theology. The Pearls dedicate the bulk of the episode to the First Annual Just 2 Pearls Black Excellence Awards. Members of the African diaspora living in the United States did too many pearly things to name this year, but Porsha and Jaimie managed to choose eight stand-outs to give "Black Excellence Awards."

We are in the thick of March Madness and Women's History Month, so we're talking about athletes, activism and anger. Bill Rhoden and guest hosts, Eryn Mathewson and 30 for 30 Podcasts Associate Producer, Taylor Barfield speak with author, Brittany Cooper, about her new book, Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Super Power. They talk ways black women can turn their anger into action - from Michelle Obama to Venus and Serena.

A carefully calculated response for when someone tells you that an act of black love is actually an expression of hatred for people who are not black.
